what size allen wrench?

What size allen wrench do I need to remove drivers and tweeters from my Rti speakers? is 9/64 correct? I have a whole slew of allen wrenches but none of them fit. Thanks

I don't have the RTi's, so I can't tell you what size. Just make sure there is no slop. If there is more than a couple degrees of movement, it's the wrong size.

I just tried a hex key on mine and it is definetely 9/64ths.

I'm still lookin' to buy a 9 and half 64'ths. :confused: I seem to need it real regularly....

That's what works on my older RT speakers.
I'm still lookin' to buy a 9 and half 64'ths. :confused: I seem to need it real regularly....For Polk Audio speakers? Otherwise, you may need a metric set. I had to purchase these for my Italian Espresson machine: they are not hard to find and/or purchase, nor are they expensive.

it pays to get yourself a set of good Allen wrenches ("hex keys"); don't scrimp. And, yes, make sure you have an English and a metric set on hand... ideally, several :-)

Yes 9/64".

Yes 9/64".Straight from the horse's mouth, so to speak, after a timely intervention by the intrepid Mr. Wong! Thanks for clearing that up beyond any doubt, Eric!

I keep a little bag of allen wrenches. They range from very miniscule to about a half an inch. 'just keep trying until one fits nice and thight!

Tool grade wrenches should be had if you are going to do anything that involves metal (beyond the bolt) for anything greater than an 1/8th of an inch. A "star" screwdriver head will fit just as well for light light stuff (like a speaker) and is available in that size.

Allen wrenches (and mating bolts) are meant for items that are to be strongly (high torque) bolted together.
